There are many clubs offered at Searcy High School. \u00a0One of these clubs is Youth to Youth sponsored by Mrs. April Butler.<\/p>\n
“Youth to Youth is a service organization that was started in Columbus, Ohio for teenagers to help other teenagers make good decisions, so it mainly about positive peer pressure.”<\/p>\n
Arielle Butler, Youth to Youth president, says, “I joined Youth to Youth because it is positive and everyone should be drug free.”<\/p>\n
Youth to Youth sponsors many projects throughout the year. One project the club is responsible for is Red Ribbon Week.<\/p>\n
“We are always responsible for Red Ribbon Week, we did a penny drive last year and gave the money to a new cancer center, and we combined with Key Club to do a “Don’t Text and Drive” campaign,” says April Butler.<\/p>\n
Red Ribbon Week is done every year in schools throughout the country.<\/p>\n
“Red Ribbon Week is a national week dedicated to being drug free, we wear red ribbons to show that we support being drug free,” says April Butler, “It is the last week in October.”<\/p>\n
“Everyone is separated into groups. Each group is responsible for a service project once a month, such as recycling, or don’t drive with distractions.”<\/p>\n
One member, Becca Buterbaugh, says, “I enjoy the projects in Youth to Youth because every activity had a good meaning and work to effect other’s lives for the better. I like helping out. Last year I enjoyed selling thumb-bands against texting and driving. \u00a0It’s surreal to think that the simplest things can make the biggest impact. \u00a0It was worth spreading the message.”<\/p>\n
Anyone is welcome to join this club that\u00a0meets the second Thursday of every month in Mrs. Butler’s room, room 114.\u00a0Membership dues are $7 for new members $5 and for returning members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
